2015 Map of Ames NW

About this map

Keigley Br meanders through this portion of central Iowa, where the borders of Hamilton, Boone, and Story counties converge. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear grid of township roads and agricultural properties, interspersed with vital community anchors. Local heritage is deeply rooted in sites like Saint Paul's Church and several historic burial grounds, including the Ellsworth Clear Lake Cem and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem. The drainage patterns of Squaw Creek and Montgomery Cr influence the local topography, while the northern edge of the map is marked by the proximity of Little Wall Lake Rd, indicating the transition toward the nearby glacial lake region. This survey captures the enduring rural structure of the region in the mid-2010s.
